"Bertha Gomez has been the Community Representative at Graham Elementary School since 2011. In addition to raising five of her own children through the school, she has provided support to the parents at the school in more ways than one. She translates, helps them with critical paperwork, and provides workshops that empower parents to help their children with homework. Furthermore, she assists parents to navigate the admissions processes in middle and high schools, which can be daunting. She initiated “Fun Fridays” for students with good behavior. Her captivating smile has endeared her to the school community and to the students."
